Whisk to combine and then pour the marinade over the ribs. Place the ribs in the fridge overnight, turning then once or twice if possible to make sure they get fully covered in the marinade.
  4. The next morning or afternoon (depending on when you plan to eat) preheat the oven 150C. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 2 1/2-6 hours (if you go the full six hours bake them at 165C degrees .) or until very tender. Try to baste the ribs once or twice during cooking. During this time I prepare the BBQ sauce and slaw (recipes below).

Cover the ribs in the Peanut BBQ sauce (recipe below) and grill 3-5 minutes per side or until lightly charred. Be careful flipping the ribs as the will be very tender. Serve the ribs with more Peanut BBQ sauce and the Thai Slaw (recipes below).

  2. If the sauce is not mixing place it in the microwave or over the stove and warm until everything is melted together.
  3. If the sauce is to thick add water to your liking.

Thai Peanut Slaw

  1. Add the cabbage, zucchini, red pepper, orange pepper, jalapeno, cilantro and basil to a large bowl.
  2. In another small bowl whisk together the lime juice, rice wine vinegar, sweet thai chili sauce, warmed/melted peanut butter, fish sauce, soy sauce and fresh ginger.
  3. Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss well to coat. Place in the fridge until ready to serve and then add the peanut.

Ingredients

  • 5 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 300g pears (about 2 medium), quartered lengthwise and cored
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tbsp. apple cider vinegar or sherry vinegar, divided
  • 1/2 c. shelled pumpkin seeds
  • 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
  • Kosher salt
  • 4 honey
  • 1 head of frisée or 2 medium hearts of romaine, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 2/3 c. crumbled blue cheese I like gorgonzola best or BlueRock (cuz local is lekker)

Directions

  1. In a large pan over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil until just smoking. Add pears in a single layer cut side down and cook, flipping halfway through, until golden brown on both cut sides, 4 to 6 minutes total; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  2. Reduce heat to low and add 1 tablespoon vinegar. Gently stir until liquid is thickened and coats pears, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer pears to a plate and let cool. Halve each piece of pear lengthwise.
  3. Wipe skillet clean and heat over medium-high heat. Toast pumpkin seeds, stirring frequently, until fragrant and just starting to brown and pop, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to another plate and let cool.
